Is this the first time we saw TTT...... same as the one about FotR?

I enjoyed Theoden et al tremendously...... even with the changes made...... Loved Helm's Deep and nearly burst when the elves arrived. It was a big WOW WOW WOW.... and then I remembered there were no elves at Helm's Deep (apart from Legolas). But it really worked for me, especially the sadness at the elves dying fighting for men. I know it wasn't in the book blah blah blah but it did portray the bond between elves and Men as seen in the Last Alliance with Isildur and whatsit and thingy and Sauron and the finger.

I was, however, bitterly disappointed at how Faramir was portrayed. For me those changes did not work.

Loved Gollum. Loved the chats he had with himself.

Overall there was more I enjoyed than disliked. I left the cinema feeling extremely awed and red eyed.

A 1000 times! Jeez, that's getting on for twice a day, every day for the year and a half since it came out. You may have got excellant value from whatever you paid for the DVD/video, but maybe you should consider getting a life.

1000 times? You are either an alien or someone who has lived to be 6,020,003!
i just happen to be doing a marathon as well. But a much longer and more different one. I'm going to read TLOTR on my birthday. That'll be 12 times, and I'll be turning 13. Then again at Christmas. And that'll be 13 times, and I'll be thirteen. And then I'll read TLOTR every year at my birthday! Then I won't have to remember how many times I've read it. It'll be my age! But it'll take discipline, cause I really WANT TO READ IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another thing that struck me when I first saw TTT was the sheer scale of everything! Man, it was phenomenal! I had to watch all the extras when the dvd came out just to see how they managed it with models and fight scenes. The detail is unbelievable and part of what makes it such a great film.

I was very confused with Barfagorn taking a dive, then suddenly Arwen showing up, the horse kissing, etc. Ah well, it was a nice surprise, i guess. I was hoping that Barfagorn would die in the movies, anyway.

i thought that the two towers was the better movie, out of the three! especially the extended version but it really made me sad to see haldir die, i wouldve done the same thing aragorn did and jump off that ladder into the orcs! i wouldve been extremely mad, if only haldir hadnt turned around...

So many WOWs in the Helm's Deep bit - and when Gandalf arrives, just as he said he would, riding down that impossibly steep slope with the riders of Rohan and the sun behind...... amazing cinematography. Big WOW!
